A fun alt-Victorian fairy-gothic novella. A fairy governess, 2 magical kids, a pair of travelling carnival magicians, problematic love potions, and malevolent fae. Good for fans of Burgis and Kingfisher.

Looking forward to more.
Also, that cover! I read this for a "make your own prompt" of the #booked2022 reading challenge... and check out this pairing! The yarn is Sultan Deluxe from Hobbii, in Imperial Purple.
